Generalised Anxiety Disorder
What is Generalised Anxiety Disorder?
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterised by feeling worried often, finding it hard to stop the worrying once it starts, and feeling physically tense or noticing other physical changes such as struggling to sleep or not feeling rested, feeling tense or on edge. This level of worrying may hinder the enjoyment of daily life and find it harder to relax and contribute to heightened stress.
When to seek treatment for Anxiety
You should consider treatment for your worry, anxiety or panic disorders when:
You frequently feel excessively worried about your life.
You worry about different topic areas, and it feels uncontrollable.
You might think that your worrying will prevent bad things from happening.
You find it difficult to experience uncertain situations as they may trigger worry episodes.
You can’t turn off your worry, and it's affecting your daily life.
You’re finding it hard to sleep, or you have nausea, IBS symptoms, aches and pains, difficulty concentrating, and are indecisive or feel hopeless.
